Toxic Tour of Richmond Zeneca Site

May 11 @ 11:00 am – 1:00 pm

A self-guided online tour of the Superfund-qualified Zeneca toxic-waste site in Richmond will share the site’s history of contamination, and the dangers it poses to the community. For over a century, the Stauffer Chemical Company manufactured herbicides, pesticides, fungicides, and sulfuric acid at the 86-acre site, dumping hazardous waste onsite and filling in the Bay. Many Richmond residents living nearby don’t know its history, nor are they aware that it was never fully cleaned up. The site on Richmond’s southeast shoreline has been leaking highly contaminated water and vapors for … Continued

About OccupyOakland.org

This website was created in the fall of 2011. Most of it is now moribund, but the Occupy Oakland Calendar, which lists activist events in the East Bay (and occasionally elsewhere) is still maintained, the Search facility works to find earlier posts and keep OO’s history alive, and articles are occasionally still posted to the front page.

The Occupy Oakland General Assembly met in-person weekly (with a rare skip) since October 10th, 2011 up until the pandemic, at which point we went to bi-weekly Zoom meetings. We do checkins, go over the activist events of the past meeting interval, and have general discussions on politics and revolution.

For many years, until the pandemic, we put on a Feed the People event monthly at Oscar Grant Plaza, where all were welcome to come and partake of a freshly cooked, savory meal, before our GA.

If you would like to participate while the pandemic is still amidst, send an email to occupyoakland-request@lists.riseup.net. Check the calendar or this text to see if we have resumed in-person meetings.
